Wow, is it really that simple for creating an exe? This kinda stirs up some thoughts. I tend to use the Sockets and HTTP options on Python a lot as it's a great way to create network applications, but of course, Python comes with the overhead of having to have Python installed on each machine to be of much use. Neko, on the other hand, would not require much client side maintenance. Are there any plans for GUI support in Neko? I'm sure a conversion of PyGTK or somesuch might be quite simple to convert, seeing as it's open source.
Alternatively, if a simple form can be created with Neko, it might be easier to attach the Flash.ocx as a presentation layer. This then opens up possibilities with communication layers, either as a C mod or a Neko framework. :) Thanks, that's a lot to think on.

When you mean "streams" I think you mean "sockets" here ? There is a complete C-style socket API in Neko, see : http://nekovm.org/doc/view/socket You can wrap it for haXe (see other wrappers such as neko/File.hx for example on how to do it). Once you have a .n file, you can use the following command to build a standalone executable : nekotools boot myfile.n That will create a "myfile.exe" ("myfile" on *nix systems). Please note that you still need to distribute the LibNeko and others NDLL files you're using with the Exe.
